The semi-annual meeting of the First Members of the Mother Church was held at the usual time. One of the pleasant incidents thereof was the following letter to the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy:—
Boston, Mass., June 22, 1901.
Beloved Leader, Teacher, and Mother:—The First Members of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, assembled at their Annual Meeting, desire, as their first order of business, to send to you a message of greeting and love. Acknowledging God and the supremacy of His individual government in the affairs of mankind; declaring our adherence to the teachings of the Bible and our acceptance of the divine Christ; we recognize how God has been made known through the revelation of Christian Science and by your own ministry in this age; and that your fidelity to Truth and faithful continuance in well-doing, have made it possible for us to become the beneficiaries of Christian Science.
